This can be demonstrated in the following ways: — Film—IWM’s moving image collection was the world’s first film archive. Now, we run an annual film festival, open to students and amateur filmmakers, it is a public showcase for innovative work that incorporates archive footage from IWM or responds to IWM exhibitions and collections more broadly. — Publishing—our collections are rich and diverse. As such, they have provided inspiration for a wealth of authors, from The Night Watch by Sarah Waters to the Regeneration trilogy by Pat Barker. We also publish a large range of books linked to our exhibitions and archives. These books are published in-house as well as in partnership with other publishers. — Art—our collection is one of the most important representations of twentieth century British art in the world. It includes many great works of art from the British government war art schemes of the First and Second World Wars. Today we continue to commission artists such as Steve McQueen, Roddy Buchanan and Susan Philipsz, and the collection reflects recent and contemporary conflicts including Northern Ireland, the Falklands, Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan. — Architecture—at IWM London, we are working with Foster + Partners to deliver an innovative architectural design that will transform our flagship branch. We recently opened a stunning sculptural bronze entrance at the Churchill War Rooms. Our IWM North building, designed by Daniel Libeskind, is an iconic design which continues to inspire. — Engineering—IWM Duxford is the European centre of aviation history. The historic site, outstanding collections of exhibits and regular world-renowned Air Shows, combine to create a unique museum where history really is in the air. The conservation team at IWM Duxford are primarily responsible for the restoration, conservation and maintenance of the large and aircraft and vehicle collections at all of our branches, and as such, are leading experts on industrial conservation and engineering techniques. 1. Film 1.1 IWM’s moving image collection was the world’s first film archive. Now, we run an annual film festival, open to students and amateur filmmakers, it is a public showcase for innovative work that incorporates archive footage from IWM or responds to IWM exhibitions and collections more broadly. 1.2 The festival not only contributes to the professional training of young film and television producers, it also creates greater awareness of our film archive. Many of the winning students have gone on to successful careers in the film and television industry. 1.3 We seek to widen access to our collections in many different ways. The digitally restored IWM film— The Battle of the Ancre and Advance of the Tanks (1917)—the official record of the British Army’s winter campaign on the Somme in 1916 and the sequel to The Battle of the Somme was premiered at BFI’s London Film Festival on Sunday 21 October 2012. The restoration was carried out by Prime Focus with the support of the Discovery Networks, and many staff in our Film Archive and Research have contributed to this project. 2. Publishing 2.1 Our collections are rich and diverse. As such, they have provided inspiration for a wealth of authors, from The Night Watch by Sarah Waters to the Regeneration trilogy by Pat Barker. We also publish a large range of books linked to our exhibitions and archives. These books are published in-house as well as in partnership with other publishers. 2.2 Our brand licensing programme is growing, with IWM products featuring in Waitrose, Fenwick and Lakeland shops.

  • Media Nations 2019
    Media nations: UK 2019 Published 7 August 2019 Overview This is Ofcom’s second annual Media Nations report. It reviews key trends in the television and online video sectors as well as the radio and other audio sectors. Accompanying this narrative report is an interactive report which includes an extensive range of data. There are also separate reports for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The Media Nations report is a reference publication for industry, policy makers, academics and consumers. This year’s publication is particularly important as it provides evidence to inform discussions around the future of public service broadcasting, supporting the nationwide forum which Ofcom launched in July 2019: Small Screen: Big Debate. We publish this report to support our regulatory goal to research markets and to remain at the forefront of technological understanding. It addresses the requirement to undertake and make public our consumer research (as set out in Sections 14 and 15 of the Communications Act 2003). It also meets the requirements on Ofcom under Section 358 of the Communications Act 2003 to publish an annual factual and statistical report on the TV and radio sector. This year we have structured the findings into four chapters. • The total video chapter looks at trends across all types of video including traditional broadcast TV, video-on-demand services and online video. • In the second chapter, we take a deeper look at public service broadcasting and some wider aspects of broadcast TV. • The third chapter is about online video. This is where we examine in greater depth subscription video on demand and YouTube.

  • RIG Response to the BBC Trust Review of the BBC's National Radio
    RIG response to The BBC Trust Review of the BBC’s national radio stations in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales RIG response to the BBC Trust Review of the BBC’s national radio stations in Wales About RIG The Radio Independents Group is the trade association for independent radio and audio producers in the UK. RIG has over 100 member companies, and rough estimates put the overall value of the sector at over £25m1. RIG has around 30 member companies based in Wales, making audio content for the BBC and commercial companies both in English and Welsh. RIG also has 6 members in Scotland. Overall comment on the Trust Review RIG is pleased to see the BBC Trust carrying out this review into Nations Radio. We passionately believe in the ability of a thriving independent production sector to increase the amount of innovation, ideas and talent available to the licence fee payer. This applies as much to Nations radio as it does to the major networks. For example one part of Wales is not the same as another and independent producers, based around that nation, can play a major part in sharing voices and perspectives from all of those areas. For the purposes of this consultation, RIG canvassed its members in both Wales and Scotland – there are currently very few producers making audio independently in Northern Ireland. On this occasion there have been no major comments to make about BBC Nations Radio in Scotland. Therefore the response is concentrated on BBC Radio Wales and Radio Cymru. We have sought to keep as closely to the remit of the questions as possible.

So, it seems appropriate now to reflect more widely beyond the normal hori- zon of the Annual Report. Our founders in 1768 comprised some of the greatest figures of the British Enlightenment, King George III, Reynolds, West and Chambers, supported and advised by a wider circle of thinkers and intellectuals such as Edmund Burke and Samuel Johnson. It is no exaggeration to suggest that their original inten- tions for what the Academy should be are closer to realisation than ever before. They proposed a school, an exhibition and a membership.

  • A Hidden Culture Anne Wood on How Art Helps Young Children Develop
    Perspectives on the value of art and culture Children and the Arts: A Hidden Culture Anne Wood on how art helps young children develop READ ON Anne Wood Back Next 02 Anne Wood is one of the most influential figures in children’s television. Born in Spennymoor, County Durham, she grew up in the mining community of Tudhoe Colliery then began a career as a secondary school teacher. She was a leading voice for children’s literature before launching a career in broadcasting. In 1984, she formed Ragdoll Productions, known for such television series as Rosie & Jim, Tots TV, Brum, In the Night Garden, Twirlywoos – and Teletubbies. She is the founder of The Ragdoll Foundation (www.ragdollfoundation.org.uk), which aims to provide a space for alternative thinking, voices and practices, to seek new creative solutions and partners, and to collaborate and share knowledge. It is currently leading the Save Kids’ Content UK campaign (www.savekidscontent.org.uk), which has the particular objective of safeguarding the production of UK- originated television for children. As a cultural notion, childhood emerged in western society somewhere around the 1850s and lasted until somewhere around the 1950s when the cult of the teenager first made itself felt in the USA, and spread around the world. Now, in the 21st century, we hear children are ‘growing up too fast’ or that ‘childhood is lost’. It is not that children are biologically changing. Although many may be taller, more robust and have greater life expectancy than previous generations, essentially children are no different. They have the same need to explore life and navigate it successfully, which has always been central to humanity.
